    It all depends on how much experience you have, safety will make the call. Are you just out of school? How long have you been driving? when was the last driving job you had? If you answer those questions I can give you some insight on what to expect.

    B" Class
    • Continue Team training until you complete approximately 60,000 total miles
    • Attend Classroom instruction at Prime's Training Center
    • Earn the greater of 12 cents per mile or $600 per week*
    "A" Transition
    The next stage you must complete another 20,000 miles to polish the skills that you have learned in the previous stages. You may complete this in a company truck running solo* earning .30 cents per mile or you may elect to complete this with your trainer at the B seat wage scale until you have completed a total of 80,000 miles.
    "A" Seat
    Once you reach this point, you will be eligible to run your own company assigned truck or you may elect to lease a truck from the lease company and run it in the Prime network as an Independent Contractor in Reefer, Tanker, or Flatbed.

    Note: If you have driving experience, you may transition into our career path with less training needed. This is specified by our safety department, please ask a recruiter where you qualify
